I am working on a project focused on improving the XML editor in Netbeans IDE, the primary goal being adding schema/DTD aware hyperlinking support to the editor. In layman terms, what that means, is to allow a developer to click on an element or attribute's name in his XML document and be taken (..or jump) to the corresponding schema or DTD definition.

Angad describes how to get notified of changes during the NetBeans plugin verification process.

Being pretty much of a web 2.0 freak, today morning I got an idea, that why not create an automated way to get notified about getting appeared on blogs.sun.com's homepage, instead of having to keep opening this page manually.. I could easily use dapper to scrape off the list, create pretty RSS feeds, gadgets and conditional email alerts out of it.. and furthermore i could use yahoo pipes to do other cool stuff with it.. thats exactly what i've done.. and i'm going to show you how i've done it in a new screencast I just created.

I recently had the opportunity to deliver a talk on the "Grand Unified IDE"'s newest. most cherished version till date - Netbeans 6.1 at the Bangalore Open Java User Group. Netbeans 6.1 is more than just a minor revision, and has made Netbeans enter entirely new grounds, which I discussed briefly in my talk.

In this post I explain how I discovered a workaround to booting into failsafe in OpenSolaris 2008.05

Here, I discuss how a way you can Multiboot OpenSolaris 2008.05 with Solaris Express Developers Edition (or any older OpenSolaris/Solaris installation for that matter)

In this post, I discuss how I used the opportunity to manage 120 OpenSolaris systems in the computer lab at college by writing a network administration script to change the boot order, splash image, and set hostnames, etc. on all the systems at once.

This is about my most passionate talk at Sun Corona Day, IGIT, on OpenSolaris 2008.05 and how it has changed the face of Solaris in the operating system market. I focused my talk not only the new improvements in OpenSolaris, but also telling the value proposition of OpenSolaris over the older solaris versions and most importantly over Linux.

In this post, I enlist tips/tricks to let you quickly reboot your OpenSolaris machine, owing to the fact that there's no reboot button anywhere in the GUI.

I thought to myself, now, there must be some web 2.0 site which allows you to signup, maintain a collection of code snippets, choose source language (C, C++, Java, XML, etc.) and provide widgets, clippets, RSS feeds of the code or the like, which you can easily paste in your blog using > > tags. But there obviously wasn't something this mundane.
